Between pained outcries and sounds like a lung being coughed up, the cleric of the sun manages to sputter out a litany of praises and prayer's. Not to beseech aid, but to keep his focus upon the mission at hand. Nevertheless, as if only to further solidify Abe's resolve, his amulet burns a bright gold and surrounds him in a golden light; suppressing the pain, and knitting together wounds. "Thank you... great... father..." He lets out a bloody chuckled, then after some internal debating, he tried to retrace his steps; daring in one final glare cast upward for Lysanderoth to try snuffing out his 'light' now.
Action: Channel Divinity - Perserve life, restoring 28 HP to Abe.
Bonus Action: Cast Sanctuary on Self. (WIS Save DC 19).
Movement: To KK-11.
(S/N: Above subject to change depending Legendary Actions.)
Without moving, the other dragonfolk in the cave shoots another volley of Eldritch Blasts. Fear still controls Boomshakala's hand though, and as such, only one of the sparks of arcane magic reach their intended target (Ancient Red Dragon takes 10 force damage).
LEGENDARY ACTION
Lysanderoth tries to bring Abe down:
-> Tail vs. Abe: Attack: 31 Damage: 19 bludgeoning.
The cleric's wounds bring him close to unconsciousness (Abe takes 19 bludgeoning damage).
(Tupoc is still up. I'll resolve Abe's turn after that).
Tupoc stands and flies after the dragon, seeing its intent. Not able to get close enough to do anything to stop the beast, he grits his teeth and screams, invoking death itself in an attempt to unsettle the creature into missing Abe (Hour of Reaping, Lysanderoth must make DC19 Wisdom Save or be Frightened)
(@Hydra: I am moving Tupoc to {KP-22}, where he would be within 30 feet of the Dragon after accounting for horizontal and vertical distances, and not within 30 feet of any allies except Selrahc, who is currently immune to the frightened condition. This is the best spot I could do with your limited movement this turn.)
Tupoc stands back up and, while flying just 5 feet from the ground, approaches Lysanderoth just enough. He then unleashes his inner understanding of the fear of death. The monk has seen Selrahc shake similar effects in the past and is counting on his ally doing the same this turn.
Fighting his temporary ailment, Lysanderoth tries to bring Abe down one more time:
-> Tail vs. Abe: Attack: 20 Damage: 23 bludgeoning.
The cleric is brought down by the quick succession of attacks (Abe takes 23 bludgeoning damage and is now unconscious, incapacitated, and prone. He must begin rolling DEATH saving throws in his turn.)
(Abe's turn is next. He needs to roll a {DC 13} CON saving throw and a DEATH saving throw.)
The last hit expels some of the toxic smoke out of Abe's lungs. However, the aasimar is not looking any better (DEATH saving throws - successes: 0, failures:1).
Tupoc's body becomes visible once again, as Empty Body comes to an end (at the end of his turn).

con saving throw DC 13: 28
Nox appears back at [KI-14] seeing the dragon near Abe's unconcious body she raises her staff encases herself and Abe with wall of force (5 charges from staff of force, closed cuboid [KI-14, KL15].
Appearing once more from a swirling mass of micro machines and magic, Yessaris is already in the midst of barking out a command for Attorney to run to one side of the area, while the Yuan-Ti took a detour. "Selherac! Either grab him when he gets close, or start devouring his gold! As a dragon, he probably won't be able to resist coming for you directly at that point!"Called out one speedster of an artificer as he made his own way across the river of death, cracked off another shot from the pistol, and then nearly Scrooge Mc Ducking his way into the pile for anything of use in the moment.
Bonus Action: Command [Tooltip Not Found].
Movement: To KG-28, leaping wherever is easiest as appropriate. Athletics: 19 for added distance(if needed).
Action:Search treasure pile for something useful (Perception: 22), plus 5 instead if Investigation.)
Hasted Action:Overrule - Attack: 13 Damage: 13 of magical piercing.
[Tooltip Not Found] Turn:
Movement/Action ([Tooltip Not Found]):Dash to JX-11, leaping as appropriate onto and off the rock.
(S/N: Above post is subject to change based on any Movement Based Legendary Actions Following Nox's Turn)
"Ethereal Jaunt Protocol is....unable to activate. Protocol duration concluded." The device again speaks in Yessaris' synthesized, eliciting a sigh of relief followed by an annoyed glare at the wand in hand. "Not what I wanted, but will worry of that later."
Future Reaction(Yessaris): Cast (1st level)Shield if applicable for an 'attack' that's 29 or less, if caught in Breathe Cone or other saving throw and would fail by 4 or less - using Flash of Genius to pass(not including Dragon Fear).
Future Reaction(Attorney): Deflect Attacking, inflicting disadvantage on the 1st Attack on an Ally.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
NOX & YESSARIS
Nox recasts Wall of Force as to encase herself and Abe inside a parallelepiped. The invisible walls form as the previous casting fades away. As soon as the wizard is done protecting her companion, she begins to disappear, but Blink fails and she remains in the battlefield.
Yessaris then orders Attorney to head westward while the artificer himself makes an U-turn towards the center of the battlefield. While running, Yessaris shoots his pistol once. His finger slips and accidentally squeezes the trigger too early, sending the projectile into the lava. Already having a different plan in mind, the yuan-ti then dives into the pile of treasure.
DM's Screen:
Treasure: 54
As the artificer emerges from the pile to catch his breath, his hand grasps a Wand of the War Mage, +3. At this point, Yessaris begins to disappear too, but his instance of Blink also fails. In fact, it has run its course.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
LAIR ACTION
Some magma form the nearby river bubbles up and splashes toward a low-altitude Tupoc.
-> Tupoc's DEX saving throw {DC 15}: 25
The monk avoids any burns with a swift pirouette (Evasion).
DRAGON
DM's Screen:
Recharge: 4
Lysanderoth screams while turning in the air and gargling some flame: "You'll melt into my hoard, thief!"
DEX saving throw {DC 24} or take 106 fire damage:
Tupoc: 16
Selrahc: 18
Yessaris: 28
The same pirouette from an instant earlier (Evasion) saves Tupoc from the worst of the fire (Tupoc takes 52 fire damage). A much worst fate meets Selrahc, who is momentarily engulfed in flames (Selrahc takes 105 fire damage). The farthest away, Yessaris has a chance to react a bit better, diving into the pile of hot gold while being protected by his Chill Shield (Yessaris takes 26 fire damage).
-> Yessaris' concentration check {DC 13}: 37
Lysanderoth then flies toward the northwest portion of the cave (away from Tupoc), allowing his massive body to collide and destroy some of the tall rock formations in his way.
(Tupoc, Selrahc, Boomshakala, and Abe are up next.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
BOOMSHAKALA & ABE
The golden dragonborn sees his chromatic brethren approach and tries to halt his advance with an upcast Cone of Cold.
-> Ancient Red Dragon's CON saving throw {DC 19}: 23
The Dragon's shiny red scales divert most of the cold air (Ancient Red Dragon takes 23 cold damage). The realization that Lysanderoth's endurance remains fast does little to cure Boomshakala from his frightened state.
Encased and unawares, Abe breaths a bit better (DEATH saving throws - successes: 1, failures: 1).
LEGENDARY ACTION
Lysanderoth's tail comes around and upward, striking Boomshakala:
-> Tail vs. Boomshakala: Attack: 34 Damage: 21 bludgeoning.
-> Boomshakala's concentration check {DC 10}: 31
The sorcerer bleeds for the first time in this fight against Lysanderoth's Dragon form (Boomshakala takes 21 bludgeoning damage).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tupoc first attempts to send his pirouette a little bit farther (Diamond Soul): New Dex Save: 16
Regardless of the outcome, the flying monk then charges down his foe, taking three quick strikes before kiting away from melee, aware of his now vulnerable state.
(@Hydra: It looks like the pirouette remains only half successful this time.)
Tupoc flies over the lava river, lands a single blow on the Dragon, and backs up to a safer distance still while mid-air (Ancient Red Dragon takes 8 magical bludgeoning damage). As the monk moves closer to the treasure pile, Lysanderoth's temporary fear abates.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Selrahc will go to the treasure hoard and see what he can find. He will also try to start just pocketing as much gold as he can to try to bait Lysanderoth into landing.

TUPOC'S REACTION
Tupoc misses another kick at the flying Dragon.
SELRAHC
The Xorn-hybrid stands back up once more and waits for his next opportunity to strike while raising his axe defensively.
LEGENDARY ACTION
Lysanderoth whips his tail at a new target this time:
-> Tail vs. Abe: Attack: 19 Damage: 14 bludgeoning.
The cleric's wounds begin to mount up dangerously (Abe takes 21 bludgeoning damage).
BOOMSHAKALA
